they (esp the twins) were really shitty to ron and looking back, it’s quite unsettling that ron was afraid of them. they straight up bullied him (esp the twins) and it shouldn’t be shrugged off with a simple “it’s called being siblings.”

bill, charlie and percy are cool tho

Ron’s relationship with the twins is NOT what healthy sibling relationships look like.

Seriously. I’m not an only child; the way Fred and George treated Ron is deeply, utterly fucked-up.

Like, Christ Almighty, even Hermione noticed how bad the twins were for Ron! She remarks that since their departure, Ron seems happier and more relaxed. That’s a HUGE red flag here! If not having someone around makes you less tense, it means that there’s a goddamn problem in your relationship!

In the books Ron’s family tends to be weirdly passive-aggressive towards him. Even kind, mild-mannered Bill calls Ron an idiot once – with the big brother worship Ron has going on, it probably stung.

Percy and Ginny, in the first five books, are shown to be supportive of Ron – before HBP happens and suddenly Ginny becomes A Hot Badass Strong Female Character, which if you’re fluent in Rowling translates into “an abusive b-”.

I love Fred and George, really I do. I’m still not over Fred’s… accident… and I tend to avoid post-war stories because of it. But that doesn’t change the fact that they were awful big brothers to Ron.

Very true. The twins were seriously horrible to Ron (although, Fred definitely more than George). Ginny was pretty horrendous in HBP with no clear reason why, and even Bill could be rude to Ron for seemingly no reason. Percy was okay at first, but his personality did clash with Ron’s a lot.

I’m of the opinion that Charlie was pretty much the only one of Ron’s siblings who treated him with the respect he deserved. Which is worrying considering that Ron is one of seven children. That’s not a good sign. 

@justsaya That’s correct; Charlie has the least in-depth characterisation of the Weasley siblings in the books. He says a couple of lines in GOF, and a few in DH. He’s the only one of the Weasley sibling not to belittle Ron in some way, and yet he’s the one with the least amount of page-time. 

It’s entirely possible that he acted like his siblings did towards Ron, but we never saw it because he was in the books so little. However, I like to think that he didn’t, and that he was Ron’s favourite sibling due to their shared interest in Quidditch and Charlie’s more laid-back personality compared to their other siblings.
